Ant and Dec have won the inaugural Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award at the 2018 National Television Awards.

‘Thank you, it’s an honour to pick this award up,’ said Ant McPartlin as the pair accepted the gong for their hit ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway.

‘We started filming today [for Saturday Night Takeaway] and we have done a little tribute to Bruce, so we feel honoured.’

The Graham Norton Show, Celebrity Juice, and All Round To Mrs Brown’s were all also nominated.

The entertainment show award has been renamed The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award in honour of the late entertainment legend; Sir Bruce was a firm fixture of the entertainment scene and sadly passed away on August 18 last year.
